I was about to collect a bunch of celebraty characters from ShareCG for the christmas competition and ... they are all gone.  I don't recall the modeler, but the "images" of the models are still there, with no models uploaded.  What Happened?  they had all the Star Trek: TOS characters, LOFR, classic actors such as Liz Taylor, Clark Gable and Humphry Bogart.  All of them are gone.  Any idea what happened????

Uh, boy.  If ALL of them are gone, it must be a legal issue.

That's what I'm afraid of ... but I'd like to know what happened to the creator of all those wonderful morphs.

Do you recall back in the 90's when at craft fairs there were images of celebrities drawn in pencil pieces like James Dean and Marilyn Monroe or the cafe window with several classic actors at the counter?  How did they do those without legal issues?  I just don't get it.  We used Faceshop to make celebs all the time ... sigh ... I guess someone thought it was too far.  Dang.  Does this mean, that if I used a celeb "look-a-like" in a competition piece here at Rendo, that I would be disqualified????

Wert's morphs have been gone for awhile and no one, that I know of, knows why. There has been a lot of speculation though, any where from legal to the author got annoyed at someone.

There are a few that marieah still had up, having obtain permission from Werts to make them injectable. I don't know if it contains what you want.

Do a search at ShareCG for Werts movie stars.

I think he distributed .obj files, not only deltas. Maybe this was a problem.

I don't recall any account at ShareCG with characters like that.

It probably was; However, since he was posting them at DAZ, I figured he had a dispensation.  I wish now I had mentioned my concerns to him-he had a gift for sculpture... :sad:

Yes, WERTS distributed obj files and I wondered all along if that would be a problem. I am sure his morphs attracted many people to M4 and V4, I know they made those figures a whole lot more attractive to me.

You would need to know if it was a full obj or just a vertex file. Daz approved a vertex only file distribution for morphs years ago.

Yeah, you can post objects if they're squished (basically just a point cloud). Those can be used for morphs. I think you can theoretically get mesh information from them with some or a lot of work, but why go to the trouble? LOL.

I am sad not only because those morphs are no longer available, but because Werts is not likely to surprise and amaze me with his/her next creation any more.

Rather than speculating, why not just send him a PM over at Daz and ask him?
